Re: [Digital BW] 1290 w. VM ink

Hi Bjorn,

Epson Archival gives you the best blacks of the papers you mentioned.
Any hahnemuhle paper gives you even deeper blacks. All the papers you
mention will be fine with the VM inksets.

Get and use Paul Roark's curves with your VM inkset and You really
should get a continuous inking system (CIS) for dramatic savings.
